Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68) crashing nightly

Since upgrading to 13.2.1, my laptop crashes every night. The upgrade is the only change that I can think of. Before the upgrade I went two years without a crash.

Hi Neil22R,

I wasn't having a problem starting up. The machine would crash during the night and I'd have to log in again in the morning.

After posting my original message it occurred to me that I hadn't run Parallels for a long time and maybe the most recent version of Ventura broke that software, so I ran Parallels just to do an update. It's been a few days now and my Mac has not crashed. It seems likely the culprit was an incompatibility with the older Parallels install.

This is on an Intel MacBook Pro 16"
